Stu......... I would guess (from this distance) that:-

1. It's the belts. Did you check 'em out against each other (I know they are
supposed to be matched) before you put them on? I've seen so-called "matched"
belts differ by 1/2" from each other.
2. Overtightening the belts by levering against the side of the generator can
make the belts "sing".
3. Check the pulleys involved (generator, crank and w/pump) to make sure none
are excessively "glazed"

As a quick check.... try re-installing the OLD belts. If the noise goes, it's
the new belts.... if it remains, it could be the bearings in the "new"
generator.

Please inform the list of the results.

Kind regards......

Ken
